In the middle of a rewatch. What are some of your favorite moments, scenes, events in the show?

There are way too many too really list them but the banter is always good, the clayisms are fantastic, and the drama is usually decently well done. Sometimes I'm more in the mood for the fire fights and wish there were more but I think overall they do a pretty decent balance.

Share some of your favorite parts of the show, scenes or aspects that you remember even after not watching for a while.

One aspect that I love about the show, is the realistic depictions of struggles that people have with things like TBI, and PTS. Although not everyone necessarily realizes that it's not just military or people who see action that can end up with PTS and the struggle is just as difficult, just in different ways. It doesn't shy away from it, it shows how it can stretch even the closest bonds to the point of tearing. And it puts forth an effort to try to show people that they don't need to be afraid to ask for help. Like Jason says to Ray, you can't carry it on your own.

I just wish I knew that myself growing up. I dealt with PTS myself since I was about 8. And didn't understand that that's what it was until I was in my thirties. So it's good to see shows like this one putting forth that effort. Trying to show that especially for men, it's not a sin or lack of masculinity to ask for help.

I really like that they gave Trent some cool toys sometimes.

Being former Delta, I'm sure he had some fun toys when he operated. But the line he gives when I blew up a technical was hilarious "correction. I blew up a technical"

He gets to have fun with the 49 mikemike (saying mikemike is fun).

Then S05E07 he got the fun flying drone missile he used to take out a Humvee with a .50 that was assaulting Bravo.

I think he's gotten the backpack isr drones generally too.

Let's him have even more fun while helping the show be authentic as it can be tactics and move ent-wise.

Not a fan of the Vic Lopez story

The writers did him dirty.

yes I would have expected everything to happen the way it did, but I wish they hadn't thrown him under the bus so quickly. would have been cool to keep him around for a while.

I thought it was a great execution of it, but I liked Vic and thought the idea of Clay being the ninja Bravo 1, and Vic being molded to be the calm voice of reason as Bravo 2.

Would have been an an awesome potential for the longevity of the show, even though we do end up losing Clay later on. But that's looking at it with 20/20.

Opinions on Multiplayer?

I'm sure its been asked, though I didn't see much on a quick search.

I've been playing this the last few days and have thought that it would be cool if this game had a multiplayer option with an optional dedicated server option. Cause I have a few friends that would probably enjoy the universe management, etc.

I also have a couple of rackmount servers upstairs, one of which I usually host dedicated servers on for games I'm playing and would LOVE to offload the background CPU tasks to it... would probably really help and I'd love to be able to build up some fleets with friends in different parts of the known universe and just sweep across it taking it for ourselves.

Edit - to specify, I'm looking from a co-op standpoint, not a PvP standpoint. Not looking for PvP in X4, and am not a fan of it in Eve. I just thought it'd be cool to be able to dominate the X4 universe with friends.
